Family escape house fire

Incident date: 2 June 2017

A family had a lucky escape after a fire broke out at their home on Lansbury Avenue in Maltby, Rotherham on Thursday afternoon.

Three fire crews from Maltby, Aston and Rotherham stations were called to the incident at 12 noon. On arrival the family were already outside their home after the smoke alarm (which South Yorkshire Fire & Rescue had previously fitted) sounded and raised the alarm.

The fire was in one of the bedrooms and is believed to have started by accident, and probably involved electrical equipment.
